Birthday wishes

Hello. I'm playing in the color challenge over at Just Add Ink today with this card.

The bird stamp is a very old rubber stamp from the former Angel Company.  It's a set that I will never get rid of.  It is colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday.  I had the embossed gray panel in my stash, and it came in handy with the color challenge below.  The tag die is from Scrapbook.com.

I'm also adding this into the challenges linked below.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cut it Up - For the boys

Happy Birthday

Hello. Playing in this week's Freshly Made Sketch with the following card.  I'm a bit late to the mix but found a tag in my stash of junk journal stuff that worked really well for this sketch.  Of course, I had to cut it down to fit on a card front, but happy with it, nevertheless.

The tag itself is made from a paper towel roll.  The designer paper I believe is actually rice paper. I did dig around in my stash to see if I could find it, but of course I was not successful.   

The sentiment is from Altenew's one go solid sentiment press plate.  Both the tag and the sentiment are popped up using foam tape. 

Lastly, the addition on the top right of the tag is a skin I created using stencil butter that is adhered to a silicone mat that had wonderful texture to it.  After it dried, it peeled right off and I glued it onto the tag. 

Ribbon colored with Copic markers for the top of the tag. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Mixed media tag - SSC374

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps. I am the hostess this go around and came up with this.  

I created a mixed media tag using stamps from the following companies.  Texture stamps/Lou Collins, Trinity stamps, Penny Black, Repeat Impressions, and IO.   The dragonfly was created using shrink plastic, Stazon ink, and the dragonfly stamp from Repeat Impressions.  I also used a bit of scrappers floss to tie the ribbon onto the tag. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you join us.  Link is here.

Thinking of you

Hello. Playing in a few challenges today with the following Thinking of You card.

I started off using the sketch from CAS on Fridays.  The tag dies are from PTI and MFT.  The tulip stencil is from Echo Park and I used Simon Says Stamp inks and a mini blending brush to create the panel. The sentiment is from Park Lane which I stamped in black ink then heat embossed in clear. 

Below are the challenges I'm entering this into:

CAS on Friday - sketch

Tic-tac-toe challenge - I used the middle going across

Hello

Hi everyone. I'm participating in the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches and also adding this to the leaves challenge over at Just Us Girls.

The tag die is from Gummiapan. I made a background using distress inks and heavy-weight mixed media paper to create some fall leaf die cuts.  The dies are from Lawn Fawn.  The designer paper is from Moda Scrap. I ended up spritzing the leaves with some distress spritz and you can see it on the photo below, as it doesn't always photograph well.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just start - anyway you punch it TSOT655

Hello and welcome to another sketch challenge at Try a Sketch on Tuesdays.  We are partnering with our sister double trouble challenge on this one. Below are the specifics. 

 

THING 1:  Trouble Maker 

says, "National Punch Day, Friday, Sept 20th, is about three things. Can you guess which two we are celebrating? Here are your choices:

1. A crafty tool.  

2. A sweet or spicy drink ladled from a punch bowl.

3. A punch that you dole out with your fists.

Hopefully, your selections agree with mine... here is our challenge: 

1. Required:  Look through your stash and choose at least one punch and/or die to use in your project.   

2. Optional:  Pour your favorite punch or beverage into a spill-proof container.  If you let us know in the comments what beverage you poured you will earn another chance in our random drawing.  

3. Fist punching NOT ALLOWED.   

Thing 2:  Double Dare

says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement, using punch(es) and/or die(s) and have used the TSOT sketch, you are eligible to enter your project HERE at Try a Sketch On Tuesday Challenge #655  for another chance in our random drawing. 

Special Notes:  Please note that Try a Sketch On Tuesday starts on Tuesday, September 16th. If you post your project at Double Trouble on Monday, the 15th, you are still eligible to enter your project at TSOT. You are permitted to backlink for that Monday only. So be sure to visit again on Tuesday, September 15th, and post your card to the TSOT Challenge using the link provided above. 

THING 3:  Twisted Sister 

says, "Hey! This sketch is from our sister challenge at Try a Sketch On Tuesday. We think it would be fun to use because it is perfect for punch cuts and/or die cuts. 

"My optional twist is to use TSOT Sketch #655. If you have used this sketch in your project you have earned another chance in our random drawing. 

"Feel free to change the orientation of the sketch... rotate the sketch or use its mirror image. Adding a sentiment is optional. You may vary the shapes as long as the basic sketch is recognizable in your project."

Tag gift card holder
